Can I set up home sharing using my ipad only - my computer is broken?

Can I set up home sharing from my iPad? Or does it need to be a "real" computer?

I'm trying to set up my new Apple TV on home sharing. I'm doing it from my iPad. When I go into iTunes from my iPad, it doesn't give me the "advanced" option.
Do I need to set this up from my PC?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can set up homesharing on your iPad (settings > music), however the library won't display on the Apple TV as it does from itunes on a computer. Use AirPlay from the ipad to play music from it on the Apple TV.

TS2972 When I set up Home sharing on my computers they dont show up in Itunes on the left tab even though net work and internet are working

When I set up Home Sharing on my itunes account it still doesn't show up when I open itunes even though network and internet is fine

You can only share from a computer to another computer or device, so your iPad won't appear on your computer's iTunes but your computer's iTunes library should show under the More button in the iPad's Music app (assuming that home sharing is 'on' on both, iTunes is open on your computer and they are connected to the same wifi network). Is that not happening ?

TS1629 Trying to set up home sharing on my ipad and when I click on the music app I don't have an option to slick ''more". It's just a grey screen that says no music..

When trying to view shared playlist, or any music for that matter the music app is blank. All it show is no music in the middle of the screen and a play button in the top right corner

Howdy Togifink,
I think I found the perfect article for you. Named Troubleshooting Home Sharing it can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972.
1. Set up Home Sharing on all devices
2. Verify system requirements
3. Check your Apple ID
4. Check your network connection
5. Check Firewall Settings
6. Quit and reopen apps and iTunes
7. Restart your network router
8. Cannot access my library when my computer is asleep
Each step in the article is accompanied by screenshots and instructions but this is the basic over view of where the troubleshooting will take you.
Take care,
Sterling

TS2972 I have set up home sharing, but the option to sync music from my mac to our family pc is not available.

Hey guys, I have home shared before between our computers, but for some reason today it is not giving me the option. I have quit and re-opened itunes ten times, and it is still not cooperating. I have turned one and off home sharing, like ten times, and I have reactivated both computers for my devise.
HELP!
Thanks,
Heather

Is both computer on the same local network?
Is both computer iTunes authorize with the same AppleID (iTunes menu Store)?
Is Mac iTunes menu Advanced > Turn On Home Sharing, On? (Same AppleID again)

There is no shared folder option.
Correct, there's no shared folder option.
If the above are done right and both computer iTunes are up and running, you'll see in iTunes left panel the iTunes library of the other computer iTunes library.

Can't see all icons, I only have setting and home sharing!!??

I have many issues with my apple TV, now and most importantly that i simply don't see any icons on home page; anything like youtube, movies, series, netflex or anything. I once had it but lost it now, I only can see settings and home sharing?

Correction; I only see "Computers" and "Settings". Nothing else!

TS2972 can I use home sharing to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer?

can I use home sharing to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer?

You are trying to use home sharing, you are logged into the same account for sharing on both computers (and they are connected to the same wifi network), and what happens when you try to copy your library ? Can you update your iTunes so that they are the same on both ?

TS2972 Right guys, I have set up home sharing on my Desktop and my Laptop. I can access the Library on each but it won't let me import for one to the other!! What have I done wrong?!!!

I have set up home sharing on my desktop and my laptop, I can access the library for each on both computers but it won't let me click on import!! Any ideas why it won't let me import?
Cheers

I can access the library for each on both computers but it won't let me click on import!!
Is the Import button greyed out?
If so ... quickly doublechecking ... do you currently have any items selected in the screen?

I had downloaded a movie from itunes to my ipad prior to getting Apple TV. Connected Apple TV and set up home sharing. Can I now watch movie that I previously rented on Itunes on Apple TV?

I had rented and downloaded movie from Itunes previous to purchasing and installing Apple TV. I set up home sharing with all computers and Ipad.
Can I now watch movie on Apple TV which I had previously downloaded? I tried to access on Apple TV but videos show as empty.

You cannot access the movie from the Apple TV screen. You would need to use airplay on the iPad to stream the video to the Apple TV.

HT3819 i originally synced my ipad to itunes on my computer before I found out about home sharing. Since I set up home sharing, can I remove the synced library? It seems to be taking up space

i originally synced my ipad to itunes on my computer before I found out about home sharing. Since I set up home sharing, can I remove the synced library? It seems to be taking up space and I'd like to free it up.

I don't think I have made myself clear... I have recently upgraded my iPhone 4 to a 5 so everything was set up to sync with no problems at all. I transferred everything across to my new device by iCloud and everything appears as it was on my old device including on the face of it my music library. However, I cannot play all of the songs in fact the majority! When at home I can access the entire library via home sharing but that is no use away from the house. I never had this problem with iPhone 4 and although I am automatically syncing the device to iTunes it is not working. If I try to play songs via the device it skips until it finds a song that cAn be played and if I try and play the device via the laptop/iTunes an ! Type signal appears and I cannot play the song!
Any ideas re solutions would be appreciated???

I just got a new Windows tablet. I set up Home Sharing between it and my desktop Mac but I can't seem to get playlists from my desktop into the tablet. Can I do this by plugging my tablet into my desktop via a USB cable?

I just got an HP Stream 8 tablet with Windows on it. I have a Mac desktop running 10.6.8. I set up Home Sharing by making sure both had the same version of iTunes and I authorized the new tablet (desktop already was). (I haven't exceeded the number of authorized computers.) I would like to take some of the playlists I have on my desktop Mac and copy them into iTunes on the tablet. I hooked up the tablet to my desktop with a USB cable but wasn't able to get it to copy. I do not have WIFI....is there a way to do this by just having the tablet hooked up via the USB cable? If so, can someone please talk me through the steps necessary to do that? Thanks!

Did you erase the machine and set it up with your accounts or is the previous user still on it?
Please note that Mountain Lion is far from being an app, it is your Macs operating system.
